Repco will return as major sponsor of the 2026 Australian Auto Aftermarket Expo, with the event set to take place from 14–16 May 2026 at the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre.
The Australian Automotive Aftermarket Association (AAAA) announced the partnership, describing the expo as the nation’s largest automotive trade event. More than 400 industry brands are expected to showcase tools, parts, technology, diagnostics and equipment alongside training opportunities and live demonstrations.
AAAA chief executive Stuart Charity says Repco’s continued support reflects the expo’s importance to the industry.
“Repco has been part of the fabric of Australia’s aftermarket industry for more than a century, and we’re thrilled to have their ongoing support,” Charity says. “The Expo is the premier event that brings our industry together — to connect, learn and do business — and having Repco as our Major Sponsor underscores the scale and credibility of the show.”
Repco chief operating officer Amy Frangos says the company is proud to support the expo and the broader aftermarket industry.
“Repco is proud to return as Major Sponsor of the Australian Auto Aftermarket Expo,” Frangos says. “The Expo is such an important platform for the industry — a place where innovation, knowledge and community come together. As a brand that has supported workshops and technicians for more than 100 years, we’re passionate about celebrating and supporting the people who keep our industry moving.”
The 2026 event will build on the success of the 2024 Australian Auto Aftermarket Expo and co-located Collision Repair Expo, which recorded combined attendance of more than 13000 trade visitors. The upcoming expo will operate under the theme ‘Driving What’s Next’.
Event features will include advanced diagnostic and ADAS sessions, automotive personalities, and the Flying Spanners Apprentice Challenge. The expo is free to register for anyone working in the automotive trade.
